[Bug 118936] Re: Alacarte does not recover deleted menu items
For those who have deleted things not realizing how permanent and global this would be, you can revert everything by deleting `~/.local/share/applications`. I know it's not ideal, but it's better than screwing everything else up trying to fix it some other way. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/118936 Title: Alacarte does not recover deleted menu items To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/alacarte/+bug/118936/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 118936] Re: Alacarte does not recover deleted menu items
I have a question on this issue: What is revert actually supposed to do? Is it supposed to restore all existing menu entries, which means the default (system) entries and the ones installed packages created or is it supposed to just restore menu entries that you could see after a fresh install? If the first is true I don't see why we cannot just delete all the .desktop-files in .local/share/applications to unhide deleted entries. I mean the entries still exist in /usr/share/applications so we only have to unhide them, don't we? ** Changed in: alacarte Status: New = Confirmed -- Alacarte does not recover deleted menu items https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/118936 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 118936] Re: Alacarte does not recover deleted menu items
Hi, Attached is a patch to make undo work with deleted items. However, the way gmenu is currently written I don't think that revert can resurrect the deleted items. It reverts the item by iterating all children of the menu and removing the .desktop files from the user's home dir. However deleted items (those that are set to hidden in the .desktop file, rather than the menu) are not included in the children, and so are not reverted. I see a couple of options: 1. remove the delete option. The user can just hide anything that they don't want. 2. As well as iterating children, just clear out the user's .desktop files. Would this delete things that alacarte didn't create?

I confirm this bug too. When an entry is deleted, an desktop file is created under .local/share/applications with the Hidden parameter set to true. Then this entry, alacarte is not anymore aware of this entry as it seems gmenu never returns hidden entries. When you revert a change, alacarte loops through the menu entries and delete the correspond file under .local/share/applications if it exists, but as it is not aware of this hidden entry it never delete the file and doesn't revert the deletion.
